'CO VE NI ad tfrEff After the decision of the Committee of such'dis tinguished characters as undertook the iniestigatinn of the concerns of this Theatre...--men to whom it is impossible to attach any suspicion of interested mo tives; and whose judgment and experienCe pectiliarly qualified them fOr the task, it was to be hoped and expetted that the public at large would quietly have acquiesced in their determination; but it is with, ex treme regret we have to record the same scene of violence and outrage .as we before reported. The Theatre re-opened last night for the intended,per formance of The Beggar's Opera, and the farce of Is he a Prince? Before the play began, from the calmness that seemed universally to prevail in the house, and the decent appearance of the audience, we could not, but indulge a hope that the deci sion of the Committee, and the accounts submitted to the public by the Proprietors, bad produced •a proper impression on the minds of the people'; .but the moment the curtain began to ascend the same turbulence broke forth, chiefly, however, from a party who had intrenched themselves in the middle of the Pit. The Opera had not proceeded far amidst this uproar, when Mr. KEMBLE wisely came for ward, if possible, to soothe the opposition, before it had lashed itself into too much fury. All his at tempts to speak, however, were ineffe&ual, and he, was obliged to retire. The 'Performers then resutn ed their charafters, but nothing but their gestures were observed. To the disgrace of manhood, as soon as Mrs. CHARLES KEMBLE 6'aille on in thepait. of Lucy, she was received with a shout of savage violence, and though, as we before observed, sheris, in a state which might be expe6ted to excite respe4 and sympathy in every _humane heart, she was even assailed by the pelting of apples, &c. She took up some of those offerings of brutal outrage, and made a curtsey to the audience, the liberal part of which applauded her, but the ruffians irons Whom the an noyance came manifested increased violence, and renewed their attacks every time she appeared. - At length, when the Opera and Farce were end ed, Mr. KEMBLE again came : forward, and, after va rious endeavours to obtain a hearing, delivered him self in - the following terms " LADIES and GiNTLEMEN,—For the satisfaaion of the Public, we have submitted the inspection and scrutiny Of the whole of our concerns to a number of the . Most honOtirable, diSinterested, anddistin-. guished characters in the country. This truly. lid— nem-able Committee, after the most strict n‘vestiga tion, have made their report;---this report we have : duly submitted to the public consideration, and we humbly trust that the statement has proved satisfac tory.—[4 tumult of applause, 'and a general round of rattler, horn's, &c.] " Ladies and Gentlemen(procceded Mr. KEM BLE, first bowing to his right, then to. his left, and lastly to the front Of the house, evidently much .agi tated), if the 'result had been the reduction of tile prices, the concern must have been inevitably ruin ed. [Here the confusion was renewed.] We appeal to . the candour of an enlightened Public fur a justifi cation of our condu6f. [Great appkuse, completely 'oue , poWering the dissentients, but the latter did not fail, as-usual, to 'call to their aid the noisy support of their rattles, horns, eut;ealts, &c. and it was im possible for sOne time to hear another word.] " 'l;,adit-.ts . and Gentlerneo, I feel cent - Went in ad dressim.r an tilidiebee of the must enlightened and distinguished metropolis in the world, that justice will be done us, and that we'slt:ili have the happi ness of receiving your sanaiou to a measure which has been proved to be absolutely necessary to save our concern from ruin." Mr. KEMBLE then retired, aud it was evident, through all the violence of those who are determined to resist all reason, and to rejea all explanation, that a large rnajorily of the audience were satisfied with his conditct. The oppoSition, as we have said, was chiefly confined to the middle of the . pit, but the hostile party obviously communicated with persons in the BOxes, and With the galleries, for they frequently held up pieces of paper or cards, doubtless as a token that they had taken their stations. One man in the pit wielded his rattle whenever there was a mitiga tion'of the usual violence, and when he was tired, handed it to an associate ; but this man, as if anxi ous to escape deteCtion, kept his hat on during the whole night, and never arose in his seat. After Mr. kEMBLE had delivered his speech, the party removed from the pit, and sprung over the railing into the front boxes. 'At this period a man who was nearly in. front of the second tier of boxes, bent for Ward and began to scrape or rub off the gild ing and decorations. The audience in general, but particuld.rly in the Pit, exclaimed at once, " Shame, shame ; don't deface the house—throw him over," yet he did not pay the least regard to this laudable expression of general indignation, but proceeded in his work with the most callous indifference, and even returned to it, till the people who surrounded him, and some of whom appeared to be his friends, obliged him to desist. It was evident that' the greater proportion of the audience took no part in this scandalous outrage, but they sat in quiet neu trality, otherwise they would have soon overpower ed and quelled the assailants. Such a frigid sub mission to the fury of a parcel of men, who obvi ously come in wantonness of juvenile mischief; or for darker designs, is unworthy of the national cha raCter ; for after such a , decision as has been made by an unimpeachable and enlightened Committee, Englishmen, who have hitherto been distinguished for liberality and justice, might have been ex peeted to have put an end at once to all such dis graceful and unjustifiable hostility.. We see with much pleasure that some of our competitors, who had hitherto taken part against the Theatre, seem now to be impressed with a full conviction of . the necessity of the increased prices, or alarmed at the formidable appearance of an unruly multitude, night after night. Indeed the matter now begins to wear a very serious aspect, and calls for the vigorous interpo sition of every friend to order and to the public peace and safety, as such repeated outrages may lead to con sequences, which in these critical times may be pro ductive of events Wore alarming than the concerns of a Theatre. We therefore earnestly exhort every Englishman who is a friend to order, justice, and the national security, to throng. to the Theatre, and quell the. tumult raised by designing men and mischievous boys, and maintain the dignity of the national cha sader. The following are the placards that were placed Theatre ist and we need only refer to that re3peEting the approaching celebration of a reined Monarch's Accession to the Throne, to shewr what are the principles of some of the'party who pretend to be only anxious to reduce the prices of. admission to the Theatre. " No . fraud--no private bo:tes=no intriguing," " Bull v. Kemble, having been referred to a Comrilittee, the award was wade in favour of the deli nthint—but • plain tiff moves to set it aside." " Theatre Royal, Covent Garden.--This,evening will he presented the Farce of, ,Who's the:Dupe; to which will be added, john Bull. 'A new Farce is in rehearsal, called the Jubilee, and will be presented on the 2Stlt instant." lohn Kemble, your Monopoly cease, Ahd then raise your prices as high as you please." The last was placed on - the Erotic of the lower •boies, on the 'left side, 'neLt the stage, 'but after "soiree time was 'indignantly 'removed.. The exquisite ancient Iti , th Music, performed At the First CommeniOration of CAROLAN, was repeat ed on Wednesday night, at the Rotunda, in Dublin, which was crowded on the occasion with fashionable Company. The following heart-touching ballad was sweetly 'sung 'by Miss CHEESE, the words by Mr. THOrrEtt Once the Harp through the vallies of Erin resounded, Erin ma vourneen, The shamrock and laurel luxuriantly crown'd it, Erin ma vourneen, &c. Sweet was its tone, when pensively mourning, As bold, and as warm, wheikwith gratitude buniingi lt thrill'd for the heroes from battle returning, Erin ma vourneen, &c. But the dark and the dampneSt of night slowly creeping, Erin ma vourneen, &c. O'erwhelni'd its lov'd strains, as Erin sat weeping, Erin ma vourneen, &c. Long Was that night-111e harp no more sounded— Ey silence and gathering horrors surrommktl, Lay prostrate, nor told how 'deeply 'twas wounded Erin ma vourneen, &c. • Dark was that cloud, the harp's ruin concealing; • Erin ma votirneen, &c. Strong was that spell, its soft magic congealing ; Erin ma vourneen, &c. Till a ray sent from Heaven which cheer'd and delighted, 'Purely and bright the fallen rel,e lighted, And burst the cold bonds of the harp long benighted : Erin ma vourneen, Erin go bragh ! The' Duke of PORTyIIIO was considered in a very dangerous state yesterday., Mr. HOME, the sur geon, and Mr. WALKEII, the apothecary, were %%itlt his Grace till two o'clock in the morning. SHEET.—We rei;ret to state that a num ber ot the Spanish sheep, belonging to his M a j es ty, have been killed by the violent and- indecorous be haviour of a crowd of persons in the Pail;, on Sun-• day last. The sheep were kept in the day-time, except Sundays, within the inclosure of St. James's Park, till about 4 u'elitek, when they were driven into the Queen's.garden, at the back of the Queen's Palace ; but unfortunately the Spanish shepherd de viated front this rule. la,t Sunday, and took them within the inclosure of the_ Park, the same as on another day and in the afternoon, as lie was driving therm back ' to the Queen'a I;arden, the novelty of the sight attracted a great crowd of persons, who got among them, which so much alarmed the poor harmless animals, that numbers were knocked down, and eleven of theca were trod to death; they. were all with lamb. From the injury others received, they have since dropped their lambs. The crowd behaved in the most violent and disgraceful manner.- On the door to the Queen's gardeh, at the bottom Of - Constitution-hill, being opened, to Jet the sheep in) they forced theirway in, and paraded the garden, in defiance,of the shepherd and were not contented With 'this, but a6tually pelted the shepherd with stones, sod called him opprobrious names.—ln con sequence of this outrageous condu& the sheep have been removed to Kensington gardens. . On Sunday evening last, about half past eight, as a Gentleman and Lady were crossing the field lead ing to Willan's Farm, Mary-le-bone, they were stopped by a single footpad, a tall, thin, genteel looking man, in a great coat, who presented a pis tol to the breast of the Gentleman, and robbed him of his watch and money, observing, that, should they be stopped again, "they had only to" .say— " well," which would berve as a pass word.— After wishing them good night io a very handsome manner, he Walked away quite unconcerned to wards High -street, Mary-le-bone. While the Edystone light-house was ere Bing, a French privateer took the men at work upon the rock, together with their tools, an,l carried them to France ; and the Captain was- in expe&atiun of a reward for the achievement. While the captives lay in prison, the transa6tion reached the ears of Louis XI.V. he immediately ordered them to be.re leased, and the captors to be put in their places ; declaring, that " though he was at war with Eng iand; he was not so with mankind." He direed the men to be sent back to their work with presents, observing, that " the Edystone light-house was so situated as to be of equal service to all nations, hav ing occasion to navigate the Channel lat;t ween Eng land and France !" . Sunday morning, Dr. G-n and Dr. B--y, two physicians of eminence, at Plymouth, in con sequence of an altercation which took place at a Corporation Meeting on Thursday, met on Ply mouth Hoe, with intent to fight a duel, but a know ledge of their intention having got to the ears of jus tice, the Police Officers attended and took them both into custody. They were taken before the Mayor, and bound over to keep the paace. On Tuesday last, an qQair of honour took place near Chalk Farm, between two 'journeymen in the employ of Messrs. Broadwood and Co. piano-forte makers,• which originated in a dispute the preced ing evening, respeaing the tuning of an instrument. At an early hour the parties met, attended by their seconds, at the bottom of Primrose-hill, when, af ter exChinging two shots, one of the eninbatants either supposing himself wounded, or apprehending the consequences of a third fire, dropped down. Some labourers, whom the reports of the pistols had attraded,. coming up at the time, and his adversary taking them for Officers. of Police, immediately made his escape, and has nol since been heard of.

To obtain I Forty, Sixty, or Eighty Thousand Pounds by one event, has an influence over the opu lent to a great extent. The demand for Two, Three, and Four Tickets of the same Number consumes a large proportion of the Lottery, and must create a great scarcity previous to the 20th instant. The Lottery is held in high estimation owing to the judi cious arrangement' of the Scheme, and the new mode of drawing. Clubs and Societies will do well not to delay purchasing Tickets and Shares.' HORNSBY and Co. solicit the favonis of the Public on the pre sent occasion, and hope to , supply their F r i en d s with a majority of the 200000 Prize Money, at either of their:Old established State Lottery Offices, .No. 26, Cornhill, and St. Margaret's Hill, Bo- roue. In this great Metropolis immense Sums are daily expended in luxury and the pursuits of pleasure, which generally end in disappointment. How much pore rational and commendable would it be to de vote a small portion of such spare money to an ad venture in the present novel and very popular State Lottery, and thereby to obtain the chance of a speedy Fortune ? The Tickets and - Shares may be purchased at Sanrr and Co.'s Offices, No. i 1, Poultry, No. 1.0, Charing-Cross, and No. 31, Aldgate High street, until the igth of this Month. The Draw ing will begin and end on the 20th. A state of doubt has often been described as the most intolerable of sensations. If this be true, the present Lottery, at least, removes all anxiety as to time ; for by drawing the whole in one day all ex cuses for. delay, all the vacillations of uncertainty, are, resolved into. , a peremptory 'AYE or No: the AYES, which forma .noble majority, are kindly in vited to N0..8, Charing-cross, where the' Lottery Loaves and FiShes - are daily distributed with good faith and gratitude by the Public's devoted servant, Was. CARTER. BURGLARY.—In the night of Tuesday last, be-- tween the hours of twelve and one, the hodse of Mrs. Tollast, shopkeeper, at Broomfield, was bur glariously broken open by two villains, one of whom, diloised with a 'black crape, entered 'het bed-room, and, with violent threats, demanded her money ; she told him it was in her pockets, but not satisfied with their contents (there being only four shillings and sixpence in them) he opened a chest m the room, and took from thence Bank notes and cash to the amount of 271. and upwards, after which he proceeded to seam) the other boxes, but not finding any more money went down stairs, and with the other, who stood at the bottom of the stair-case, while the other was employed above, made off, .ak ing with them from the shop a small parcel of tea and a few halfpence from the drawer in the ck untier
